Table Saw Switch Replacement Compatible with Ryobi and Craftsman, Safety Power Tool Switch,Paddle On/Off Switch for Table Saw 125v

The switch is a direct replacement for the one on my Craftsman 10 inch table saw, aside from the slight color difference. Replace four screws, take four wires and connect them with spade connectors, then replace the four screws. The work is done. The solution is easy and takes five minutes. The original switch had failed to make a good connection, so it would not always turn on before this fix, so I opened it up, cleaned and sanded the contacts, lubricated with dielectric grease, and rebuilt it one time before. You would have to jiggle it or switch it on/off on and off a bunch of times to keep it There was a short period when the light did not come The last time I was able to fix it, it worked for quite some time. It did not work the last time because the contacts welded themselves together and the switch would no longer turn. Rather than replacing the whole switch, I decided to just replace the switch this time.

So far, I'm very satisfied It could take me a few days to complete this review if/when I experience difficulty. I wish you all the luck in the world.

There is still time to find out. In theory, it should work as it did in the original. However, how long will this last? While I am glad it wasn't too expensive, will it last? The replacement switch seems to be an exact copy of the original one which failed after light usage. A few days ago, I went to shut down my table saw and found it wouldn't shut down! My only option was to walk around the saw and Disassembling the original switch revealed that it had been severely burned and that the contacts had This switch is nothing more than a basic DPST On-Off switch The (single pole, single throw) switch is off. The switch did not have a current rating, but during start-up when the motor is at FLA (full load amp), I believe this surge is much greater than what the switch is rated for since the contacts are not subject to any significant spring loading. This type of switch is cheap but will likely burn out again, which is why they sell so many of them. The saw is only used rarely, so I'm optimistic it will last a while. However, after the initial switch failed in the closed (ON) condition and I could not turn it off until I unplugged it, I won't trust it for a long time. My primary goal is to install It's a good idea to check out the stop button) for peace of mind or just purchase.

A switch like this comes in two sizes that seem to be pretty similar. The saw blade used in this model is made by Ryobi and Craftsman. (Craftsman saws were manufactured by Ryobi)
This switch is the smaller of the two and WILL WORK the larger one, but drilling new holes in the saw body is required or mount it with heavy double-sided tape, like I did. Tape is sticky. Prior to ordering, make sure the switch mounting holes are the right size. **The bad news is that the larger switch can be extremely difficult to find, so you might be better off with this.

The fact that power equipment had no safety start switches was widely known in 1950. The plugs allowed the lights to remain on and if there was an emergency you could unplug the lights. During the building of our house my grandfather had installed a safety switch and connected it to a receptacle. There is a problem where the switch fills with saw dust, then won't turn off until you jiggle it from side to side. The contacts can be cleaned out with contact cleaner and they will work flawlessly for a year or so. This is followed by another gumming up. Now that he is at the age when he is learning to use more dangerous power tools, my son is learning how to use them. To keep his tools safer, I wanted to make them tougher. My shop tools are dangerous, so I ordered three of these to protect them. On the tablesaw of the 1950s, the first one is installed now. To mount it in an electrical box, I needed an electrical box. could not find one that was available for purchase commercially. In fact, you can buy self-contained units that are equipped with a switch, receptacle, and lead cord, but they can be rather expensive. My membership to a website that I belong to helped me locate and 3D print a heavy duty cover plate that uses a standard electrical box. By adding this safety switch to my table saw, along with a 3d printed cover, I was able to make my table saw considerably safer. Your one-of-a-kind power tool has to have a similar footprint in order to work with this product. The idea is to make a cover plate that uses a standard single gang electrical box and a 3d printer. A blank electrical enclosure or box can be purchased and a hole can be cut to fit It has been seen on woodworking forums where people simply install them in wooden boxes. My recommendation would be to stay away from.

I recently found my 15 year old Ryobi BT3100 table saw stuck in the "on" position due to a broken switch. Here's what I found when I searched for a replacement. The saw blade is similar in size but a little smaller, so I had to drill new mounting holes where it mounts to the saw, but other than that it works fine.

Easily connect to the Internet. It is no longer possible to purchase original OEM parts for this table saw model. I couldn't be happier with this aftermarket part. Pull out the switch and transfer its wires to a new one by removing the screws holding the switch to the switch box. The switch box should be lined up to the screws and reattached. It's all I have to say. As time passes, it will be determined whether this part is quality, but for now it is a top pick.

I ordered and received it, but it was too In order to find the one that failed, I returned it and looked for one with the Ryobi name on it. One was found, and I received it, only to discover it didn't fit either. For the fit, the size needs to be 4" X 2 1/2". am looking for any assistance you may be able to offer.

This switch is exactly what I have been looking for. As I was drilling some aluminum shims with my Ryobi drill press, the switch broke. "Hotwiring" the project was an attempt to finish it quickly, but I knew I could not continue in that dangerous state. The fact that this switch is available on Amazon is surprising. This drill press chuck fit perfectly with no modifications needed on my drill press after I bought it and it arrived very quickly. Glad to hear that!.
